JSONP is used to get data from remote web locations without running afoul of web browser security restrictions. Browsers prevent access to methods and properties from other domains, with one exception: the <script> tag.  The <script> tag is allowed to reference JavaScript from anywhere. For example, your browser will have no trouble with this script reference, no matter what domain the page is running:

<script  src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

Servers take advantage of this fact by returning JSON data wrapped in a JavaScript function. The link below asks flickr.com for some images in JSON format. Notice the last ...

Today, Falafel Software, the premier Consulting & Training company for Sitefinity worldwide, released a new version of its book “Sitefinity 5 Nuts & Bolts”.

In case you haven't heard.. JAVASCRIPT IS MAKING A COME BACK!! And it is not the same JavaScript you fiddled around with in the pre-AJAX era. It has become reborn with the help of HTML5, mobile, and even Windows 8 (see Create your first Metro style app using JavaScript). Understanding JavaScript is becoming essential and can no longer be dismissed as a "weakly-typed, toy language with no compilation checks," but instead as a versatile, dynamic, cross-platform language.

Before jumping into code and learning JavaScript, I want to give some background of its purpose. It is important to know ...

Stretching a RadGrid to 100% of the browser height can show as "squashed" when the grid is AJAX-enabled. Even without AJAX involved, stretching RadGrid requires setting the grid Height to "100%" and the Height style of all parent controls to "100%".  Setting RadGrid Height alone outputs this disappointing view where the data is squashed to a single text line.

You'll see this same "compact" view of the data in IE, FireFox ,Chrome and Safari. Add the style below to set HTML, Body and Form tags height to 100% and hide margin, padding and scrollbars.

<style  type="text/css">

I came across an interesting behavior today. I was dynamically loading a user control into a RadTooltip using Page.LoadControl("MyUsercontrol.ascx")

Canceling the tooltip causes a partial-page postback. If I then reopen the tooltip before I do something to cause a full-page postback, the user control in the tooltip loads with the cached control state from the canceled instance. It appears that the second call to Page.LoadControl() returns an object with the same ID, and ASP.NET automatically wired it up.

My solution: in an event handler for the user control's Cancel button, I change the user control's ID to some throwaway text, like ...
